Care Plan
per month
A Care Plan protects your digital camera if it develops a fault or breaks down, even as the result of a mishap.
There are two ways to pay for your plan - monthly or fixed term. Paying monthly means you'll only pay a small amount each month for as long as you want, whereas paying a fixed term is ideal if you just want to pay once and know your product is protected from then on.
Please note, customers selecting a monthly Care Plan will have the payment debited from their chosen card every month

Meet the Sony Alpha a7R Compact System Camera, a small and light 35 mm full-frame digital camera that makes anything photographically possible.
Full-scale high resolution photography
Achieve absolute image resolution with a 36.4 megapixel sensor that's free of an optical low pass filter for the truest results. Your vision will be exactly realised in full-frame format with outstanding levels of detail.
The Alpha a7R is able to perform remarkably in low light, delivering low-noise images with crisp detail and colour across its wide sensitivity range of ISO100 to 25600. Take incredible photos of all kinds of subjects with confidence that your images will look stellar.
The difference is in the details
Equipped with a sophisticated high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine that faithfully reproduces every scene element, the Sony Alpha a7R creates pictures that really stand out, whether you're shooting up close in clear light or in deep focus using a high pixel count.
All those textures and subtle aspects will be captured in real time, and multi-frame NR (noise reduction) further expands sensor responsiveness to ISO 50 to 51200 for gorgeous low-noise images, even in dim conditions.
Speed counts in photography
The ultimate photographer's goal is to capture a scene as you see it, which means you need to be fast and accurate. The Sony Alpha 7R features Fast Intelligent Autofocus that enables you to react rapidly to seize the creative potential of its full-frame sensor.
Exploit the choice of focus zone settings and 25 customisable AF points to track subjects faster and more accurately.
Helping you achieve your creative vision is an OLED Tru-Finder™ viewfinder which gives you a precise view of even darker scenes, with superb contrast and resolution levels so you can gauge exactly what's going to end up in-frame.
The LCD can be tilted through 90 degrees to pull off creative shots at difficult or unique angles, so you can capture subjects from awkward positions or interesting vantage points.
Ultra HD photography and Full HD videos
Presenting the best of compact photography and video technology, the Alpha 7R ILCE7RB.CE opens up a whole new world of detail.
Take advantage of the camera's pro-grade movie-making features to capture Full HD movies in 60p, or 24p for a film-like appearance. Everything you shoot is presented with stunning levels of detail and tonal gradations.
Clear close-ups can be filmed with audio to match - Clear Image Zoom lets you zoom in without losing resolution, and high-performance sound capabilities allow you to add the soundtrack.
You'll be able to view your images in all their glory on a large-screen 4K Ultra HD TV via HDMI or WiFi. Witness the camera's awesome life-like colours, and every shade and hue becomes brighter and deeper when viewed on a Sony TV with a Triluminos display.
Tough, uncomplicated design for use anywhere
The Sony Alpha 7R boasts a robust, high-rigidity magnesium allow body bolstered with dust and moisture seals. Its tactile grip moulds to fit the hand seamlessly, allowing you to focus on capturing images and less on holding onto the camera. Enjoy sure handling even when using longer lenses.
It remains light and has been made with compactness in mind to suit professionals and more active snappers.
Customisable buttons give you accurate control and the facility to fine tune each shot whilst looking through the viewfinder. Flip through and adjust settings quickly and smoothly with the intuitive control wheel and easy-to-reach dials.
Wireless sharing from your camera
Now you'll be able to go anywhere and share your creations whenever you like, with the inclusion of WiFi and NFC technologies.
Touch the camera against a smartphone or tablet with NFC capabilities to activate apps or share photos and videos. You won't need any cables or complicated connections. Plus, built-in WiFi allows you to upload content to social networks or connect to compatible computers, TVs and other devices.
The Smart Remote Control app can also be activated via NFC, and WiFi presents a great way to share and back up your shots.
Photographic flexibility
It's so quick and easy to expand on and augment your Sony Alpha 7R – use the Multi-Interface Shoe to add accessories like a flash or microphone, and switch freely between full-frame lenses from Sony's incredible range.
Give yourself more creative ability and make the most of your camera by adding one of our impressive lenses to your CSC kit. The right lens is the key to achieving striking compositions. You can control all aspects of your photography to shoot the subject with more creative prowess.

About two years ago, someone I know was responsible for managing the day-to-day in-home health care for a senior relative in deteriorating health. Rather than put them in a nursing home, an in-home agency was used; just a short time after the service commenced visitations, the relative's home was infested with bedbugs. They were discovered on the mattress of the in-home health worker (who was, at times, staying overnight). They were later found in the sofa and carpeting.
They are a menace to get rid of. The agency ended up paying for infestation control from a local exterminator, and then to have the sofa, mattress, et al steam cleaned. After two or three trips, there was finally concurrence that the things had been exterminated from the home. I know some say this "threat" has been overblown, but after hearing this story, I know I want *nothing* to do with them. If that puts me in the more-paranoid-than-not camp, well, so be it. Although I don't travel much, over the last few years, after hearing that story, I've started inspecting any hotel room I stay in first thing. I check mattress corners, pulling up any coverings and sheets (at the corners/seams), and look under and around any upholstered furniture (particularly sofas, and sofas with foldaway beds) for possible telltale debris. You can't possibly inspect every nook, crannie, and crevice of a room, but a good basic inspection that takes only a few minutes at some conspicuous points should give you a fairly strong level of confidence that your room is OK. What I've found in my little "mini inspection" at a few hotels is that most larger chains (and this is a generality, I realize, so the implied caveat is offered) are starting to replace their mattresses more frequently, and some mattresses even have inspection date tags that would only be seen (typically) by maintenance staff (and the occasional nosy guest like me). I think they take the problem seriously and are trying, as best they can, to be proactive about it. I think the inevitable weak-link in the chain is the individual maintenance staffer who may or may not have been properly trained to look for the filthy things when they are turning over a room, or under time pressure to get the room turned over does not do a sufficient job of checking, esp when in reality the probability of finding them in any one room is probably not very high. Just speculation on my part. Last edited by OklahomaTourist; 04-09-2013 at 11:18 AM. |

My dd's camp had two different episodes of bedbugs. The first time, the girl in the top of the bunk, over my dd, was covered with bites after their first night at camp!! She looked like she has measles. My dd had some bites but mostly on her upper arms. The director knew exactly what it was...the housing was cleared, the girls were told hand over everything they had brought with them. They gave their pj's first so that the counselors could wash those first and then the girls would have something 'clean' to sleep in. They washed every sheet, every pillow, every bit of clothing. Even my dd's favorite bear was sent through the drier!!! The kids were put in another building and given their belongings the next day. Every single wooden bunk was taken out and destroyed...huge bonfire that night!!! Again a few years later...but to a much lesser extent. Now, when dd comes home from camp, her stuff stays in the garage, and goes directly into the wash, highest possible water temp, and into the dryer..again, hottest available. The duffle bags do into a large green trash bag and into the trunk of the car for a week or so.That way, if anything hitched home, it's now dead!!! All it takes is one bag to pick up bedbugs at an airport. Or for a traveler to put their bags down and have bugs jump on for the trip. Then, all the bags are now subjected to bedbugs. All you have to do is touch something else with the dang things on it. Then, into the resort room they go. They will hide out for a bit. Then, out they come and hide in the bedding. I doubt any of the housekeepers are doing an adequate job of looking for bedbugs when cleaning rooms. They should, but they probably don't!! So, I check for myself. My bags don't get unpacked until I've checked out those mattress seams and along the baseboards and behind headboards if at all possible. |

I can see why they would be loath to take a claim made after you left WDW very seriously. At any rate, I'm sorry you had to deal with bed bugs. |

Do you know for certain that it's a named variety? It could just be a seedling, which would have no name. |
I've never had any seedlings.....so can probably rule that one out. It could be a hosta that came in a cheap grab bag at a mail order nursery a few years back. I needed lots of hosta to fill an area and ordered these. They were the tiniest things ever, I was wondering how they would survive, but most did. The little white eyes that were shipped to me were single eyes and the largest probably the size of thumb nail otherwise all smaller then that. They grew VERY slow. In the area I know that they are in under the pines, the color is just repeated to green or small white margin. So back to this one, if walmart doesn't sell any that are just green then I still have no clue. This would have been at least 4-5 years ago. Michelle |
Fortunei Hyacinthia maybe? |
Fortunei Hyacinthia maybe? |
Actually old dirt that might be it. I also checked images of Fortunei Hyacinthina and that's what I think it is too now. I have two of them and one is smaller. Thanks Michelle |
Eleven I checked the backs of this hosta and they are a greyish color.....a color I can wipe off with my fingers. So this would be fortune Hyacintia?? |

Hi Guys,
I really have difficulty when I have to colour my fondant a dark colour. I use the gel colourant and to make it dark you have to add so much gel that the fondant becomes to soft and tears when you cover the cake.
Please does anyone have a solution for me?

Community Energy Use
- Analysis of Performance
- Metric Definition
- Why Is This Important?
- City Organization Impact on Performance
- Benchmark Information
Analysis of Performance
Electricity use per capita was over 15 percent lower in the third quarter compared to the baseline year of 2005. This is the highest reduction for any quarter since 2005. The weather was generally mild in summer 2014, which contributed to the reduction. The population was readjusted with current estimates to 155,400. Continued declines in per capita electricity use while the local economy is growing indicates that customers are aware of their usage and continued efficiency programs.
Metric Definition
Percent change in electricity use (kilowatt hours or kWh) per capita compared to 2005 (baseline year) The metric is evaluated quarterly, and is one measure of the community's energy efficiency.
Why Is This Important?
Percent change in kWh hours compared to the baseline year (2005) is a measure of the effectiveness of the City's energy conservation programs over time and influences the City's ability to meet energy and climate related goals.
City Organization Impact on Performance
Medium - The Utilities' Energy Efficiency and Conservation Programs provides programs and services to promote reduce energy use. Weather and local economic conditions are the other primary influences which have an impact on the electric usage of the community.

Most of us either have already experienced or will eventually experience the roommate who is just a little too open with their sex lives. I have definitely been kept awake by muffled moans, creaking beds, dirty talk and noises that cannot be defined while sharing a place with someone else. One of my friends even told me that she walked in on her very skinny male roommate while a rather voluptuous woman was gagging him.
Most of us are willing to put up with the occasional roommate sexcapade. But one Massachusetts college student says she has had enough — and she sued for $150K. Keep reading »

Our View: The givers .... of joy
December 12, 2014
The sides of Main were teeming with children filled with joy and excitement as they watched and waved at 4,000 parade participants marching the length of Main Street. What a great gift for the families of Sarasota.
Our View: Long may it wave
June 12, 2014
Surely, we're not alone in thinking that we, as Americans, are having our American ideals and patriotism tested to new limits lately.

Our View: 'Never again'?
June 4, 2014
This is the 70th anniversary of D-Day … June 6, 1944. We all have seen the photographs and footage from the beaches of Normandy. We have seen the rows upon rows of our nearly 9,400 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery — most of them killed in Operation Overlord, the code name for the Allies' invasion of France. But so few of us in subsequent generations can even imagine what author Rick Atkinson vividly re-creates in his epic book, 'The Guns at Last Light.'
Our View: 'Our republic is gone'
May 1, 2014
Most of the time, we try to devote this space to pertinent local and state issues. But now and again, national and international events are just too compelling to stay silent. This is one of those times.

On the campaign stump, Sarasota County commissioners could say they stood firm on taxes. The 2013-2014 fiscal year millage rate will not increase.

If the future means churning out pointless bits of tat made of perspex and plywood all the live-long day then I don't want it. I got that out of my system in Design & Technology class at school; I don't need to revisit that dark period just because a 3D printer means I can do it quicker. This hotchpotch exhibition gives us a whistle-stop tour of the first 300 years of British manufacture. It then tells us about how important recycling is, before drifting into piles and piles of detritus that claim to be evidence of a revolution in manufacture. It would have made quite an interesting website, but there's nowhere near enough content to justify a £12 ticket. It's expensive and dull. I implore you not to bother.

Holy Week & Pascha in Bournemouth
Palm Sunday saw the Bournemouth Church of Christ the Saviour decorated with palm branches and with palm crosses distributed to the faithful who had come to fulfil the blessed demands of Holy Week. The Monday to Wednesday services (Day And Evening Hours) were led by Subdeacon John Morgan. Father Simon (who had helped with the Portsmouth and Southampton Holy Week services through the earlier part of the week) led a well supported congregation for the Holy Thursday afternoon, foot washing, Liturgy and Eve of Friday prayers. The Good Friday worship was, as always, well supported with many of the congregation expressing what blessing they received through these demanding, even strenuous, yet wondrous services. Deacons and subdeacons were, as always, magnificent, reflecting faithfully Saint Ignatius of Antioch's famous words of appreciation for the diaconate. The Paschal greeting and response rang out Saturday night in English, Greek, Romanian and Church Slavonic reflecting the Pentecost-like multi-national congregation who had gathered together to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ
Recent Ordinations
On 11 January, during the celebration of The Divine Liturgy at Saint-George-in-the-East, Shadwell, where the British Orthodox London Mission of SS.George & Paul the Hermit worships, Abba Seraphim performed two ordinations. Trevor Maskery, who serves as Abba Seraphim's PA, who has been a Reader since 2012, was advanced to the subdiaconate; whilst Daniel Malyon, who has served as a Reader and Subdeacon since February 2011 was ordained to the order of the diaconate. Deacon Daniel, who is currently completing his master's degree in Orthodox Theology at the University of Winchester, also serves on the Council of Oriental Orthodox Churches in the UK. It was a great joy that Deacon Christopher Barnes travelled down from the Church in Babingley to serve as deacon of the liturgy and to perform the role of acting Archdeacon.
Following the ordination in London the two new ordinands and Deacon Daniel's wife, Janice, travelled down to Bournemouth to visit the congregation there. The next morning, during his homily in the Divine Liturgy, Abba Seraphim complained that his duties had kept him away for too many months, but he was glad to return to share fellowship with the congregation there, and to welcome church members from the other South Coast Mission parishes of Portsmouth and Southampton. It was also a pleasure to return with the newly ordained Deacon Daniel, who had begun his ministry in the Portsmouth and Bournemouth congregations and had met his future wife from among the members of the Bournemouth parish. The day was characterised by warm informality as Abba Seraphim addressed the congregation on a number of issues, some of the members having been gathered almost four decades earlier, when he had immediate pastoral charge of the Bournemouth parish. Following lunch Abba Seraphim took the two new ordinands to the Wimborne Road Cemetery to pray at the grave of the late Archdeacon James Goddard (died 1993).
South Coast Congregations represented at Sisters of Bethany Centenary
Mary Goodchild and Bridget McConnachie represented the British Orthodox Church South Coast congregations of Bournemouth, Southampton and Portsmouth at the celebrations to mark the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Etheldreda Anna Benett, the Reverend Mother Foundress of the Society of the Sisters of Bethany. The celebration was held on 29 July 29, the Feast of Bethany, in Saint Clement's Church, Bournemouth where Mother Etheldreda is buried in the churchyard. His Grace Bishop Trevor Willmott (formerly Bishop of Basingstoke, then with oversight for Bournemouth) presided at the celebratory mass and service of thanksgiving, following which a memorial stone was blessed in the churchyard.
Although originally founded in Clerkenwell in 1866 (the same year as the ordination of Mar Julius as the first bishop for the British Orthodox Church) the society's association with Bournemouth goes back well into the nineteenth century with a convent built in the 1870s and an orphanage run there for many years. The Bournemouth House of Bethany took a direct hit from an enemy bomb in the Second World War (resulting in the death of two sisters). In the early 1960s the Bournemouth House of Bethany became the Mother House for the society. This was closed in the mid 1980s and the present Mother House of Bethany opened in Southsea. The Sisters of Bethany have always been known for their ecumenical spirit (the Archbishop of Canterbury's 1890s mission to the East Syrian Christians being a famous example of their ecumenical work) and in their early years received both Russian Orthodox and Syrian Orthodox visitors. This Orthodox link continues to this day with the British Orthodox Church of Saint Mary the Mother of God and Saint Moses the Black in Portsmouth enjoying warm relations with the Sisters of Bethany in neighbouring Southsea.
Latest Baptism at British Orthodox Portsmouth Church
The celebration of the Divine Liturgy in Portsmouth on Saturday 12th May included the latest baptism, that of young Alexander Bahy Eladham Ramsay Mahrous. He was beautifully behaved throughout the service and beamed wonderfully when he was dressed in the miniature priest's garments at the conclusion. This is not just a 'nice touch' or a good 'photo opportunity' but is in fact an important symbol emphasising that all the baptised are members of the "royal priesthood" (1Peter 2:9). The ordained priest does not celebrate the Liturgy on behalf of the congregation who are merely spectators – no, the ordained priest leads the celebration in which all present participate, offering the eucharist together and he may no more offer it without a congregation than the congregation may dare to offer it without an ordained priest.
Funeral of Lyndsey Pratt at Portsmouth
Following the death of Lyndsey Clare Pratt on 26 April at the age of 48, following a long battle with cancer, her funeral was held at Sacred Heart Church in Waterlooville, Portsmouth, on 9 May. Lyndsey's husband, David, and her two children, Hannah and Samuel are members of the British Orthodox Church and, although a Catholic, she was always very supportive of their church membership and often attended services with them. The Church was full for her Funeral Mass, which was celebrated by the parish priest, Father Kevin Bidgood. Abba Seraphim and Father Simon Smyth and several members of the BOC congregations in Bournemouth and Portsmouth also attended because of the high regard in which she was held. In his homily, Father Kevin emphasised that throughout her long illness she had shown great Christian fortitude and was determined to live her life to the full, undertaking several strenuous sponsored activities to raise funds for cancer charities and demonstrating her strong Christian Faith.
At the end of the service, Abba Seraphim was invited to intone an Orthodox Prayer of Commendation whilst at the graveside in Catherington Cemetery he led the Orthodox mourners in singing the Paschal Troparion.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

We found some stone tile for our new backsplash and bought a couple of boxes to check for color match. The tile is "Premium natural stones" Luxor Gold, purchased at Home Depot. It is honed limestone and appears to have a fairly smooth satin finish to it. On the back of the box it states "Sealing with a penetrating sealer is recommended."
We are wondering if sealing would be needed for a backsplash and if so, what type of sealer should be used. Thanks |

I would highly recommend sealing any porous stone tile. Limestone is porous (similar to porousity of marble or travertine). I have been told that Miracle 511 products are highly recommended for sealing. I just used Miracle 511 Impregnator on slate tile floor. I could have instead selected Miracle 511 Sealer & Enhancer if I had wanted to enhance (and darken) the tile. Miracle 511 also makes Porous Plus for highly porous stone. This thread discusses when to choose Porous Plus over Impregnator (which does include some limestone). Are you installing yourself or will you be having a professional install? |

I have a limestone floor recently put in and though I like it, it does etch and stain badly. A backsplash isn't likely to take the same abuse my floors take, and is usually wiped up pretty swiftly. But at least in my kitchen, it pretty regularly gets spattered with everything from cake batter to tomato sauce. So for the effort and cost, I'd think it definitely worth sealing...especially if the limestone has a fairly homogenous surface because any splotches or etches will really show up. Mine is so varied, that they tend to just blend in. The tile gurus who are more frequent contributors to the bath forum recommend sealers by Miracle Sealants. Porous Plus is their strongest sealer and is what was recommended by the gurus for my limestone floor. It would usually be considered overkill for a backsplash or even most stone floors. But not for limestone. You can easily find it online, and sometimes at tile or big-box stores, though they usually carry only Miracle SEalants less heavy duty versions. A little goes a long way...unless you've got the great wall of China, you'll only need a pint. |
Not to hijack the thread, but what about sealing the grout of the backsplash? Our tile guy said he usually doesn't, so we didn't, but now I'm wondering if that was wise-especially behind the sink. And would this be easy for me to do? (I'm a tiny bit handy) |
Thanks for the quick replies. Sounds like Miracle products are the way to go. I was hoping to avoid another step in this long remodel process but I'll seal it now and not be sorry later. Pricklypearcactus - we will be installing it ourselves, hopefully very soon! Any benefit to sealing it before it is installed? I would think that sealing it beforehand might save some staining from the grout and installation process. |

We have cream crackle tile and cream grout, and it was all sealed after install. I asked at the tile store and the installer if the tile needed to be sealed pre-install and they both said only after install. I can imagine if using a dark grout with light tile, pre-sealing might be necessary. The sealer came in a spay bottle, and I believe it was a simple matter of spraying it on. Tile and grout have so far been impenetrable-- beef juices and balsamic vinegar have both been wiped away as easy as you please even though several days old. FWIW. |

hi bob... I sealed my marble backsplash myself...Super easy...Used the 511 product..Just wipe on..wait a couple minutes and wipe off. Do a smallish area at a time. I found that it works better if not left on toooo long. Seriously...this is an easy thing and it gives me piece of mind about protecting my backsplash, even if it doesn't get "a lot of action." KA:) |
For those of you who sealed your own backsplash (after install)-did the sealer darken the grout and/or change the grout color in any way? TIA Lee |
- Posted by melissastar (My Page) on Wed, Feb 16, 11 at 15:20
Bob: I did a lot of research before my limestone floor went in and I did find info (including the directions on the Porous Plus bottle) that said seal BEFORE grouting on limestone. This is because the sealing will make it easier to remove grout that gets on the tiles and because limestone is so porous. My installer actually chose NOT to do that, but was aware of the potential problem and wiped up grout promptly. If i were going to DIY a limestone backsplash and, again, we were not talking about huge volumes of tile, I would install the tile and seal with one coat, taking care not to saturate the grout joints, as the directions say. Then, grout, clean up and reseal. Luckily sealing is pretty easy...wipe on, let dry 3-5 minutes and wipe off excess. My floor has two coats and I'm thinking it needs a third. Bottom line: Sealing is cheap compared to the cost of replacement and easy compared to fixing etched or stained tiles. Limestone is extremely porous (though beautiful). |

Hi lee... No, sealing did not darken my backsplash tile or grout.. KA:) |
There are enhancing sealers and non-enhancing sealers. The enhancing sealers will 'enhance' (deepen) the coloring of the stone tiles, and to a lesser degree, the grout as well. Below is the link to the previous thread with a similar discussion. Scroll down to see where I posted my pictures of both enhanced and non-enhanced tiles. Helene |
Here is a link that might be useful: previous sealer discussion
Thanks to all. We'll be picking up the rest of the tile today along with some sealer, which we will apply before grouting to be on the safe side. We'll add another coat after the tile is grouted. |
We've selected the same tile. Do you happen to have a picture of some of it installed that you could post? The person at our Home Depot said we could even choose to not apply grout, just seal and leave it looking almost like stacked stone. Not sure I'm convinced that would really work. But I'd love to see yours on the wall. Thanks! |
I'm likely getting a cream colored crackle tile. I know they have to be sealed before grouting. I read somewhere else that you were supposed to soak them in water before installing to prevent lateral grout migration. Is this true? If crackle tiles can be sealed in place after installation but before grouting, what about thin 1/16" spacing? Is sealer required down in the spaces or only on the face of the tile? |

If Pres. Barack Obama prefers not to intervene on behalf of the protesters being slaughtered in Syria, the least his administration could do is refrain from endorsing their tyrant. In Obama's speech Monday night about America's interest in defending Libyans and standing alongside other freedom-seekers of the Arab world, Syria didn't even rate a mention. That discussion was handled Sunday in remarks by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking on CBS's Face the Nation. Not only did Clinton nix any thoughts of action on Syria, she ran interference for Syria's murderous president, Bashar Assad, saying: "Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he's a reformer."
Such deference to U.S. lawmakers was absent from Obama's decision to go to war in Libya; the president sought a resolution from the United Nations, but not from Congress. But if Congress is now back in the loop, with some members singing the praises of Assad, clearly the State Department needs to do a much better job of briefing them on the realities.
The report begins with the observation that during 2009, the government and members of its security forces "committed numerous serious human rights abuses, and the human rights situation worsened." Then come accounts of "arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life" and "enforced disappearances" that go back to the vanishing of "an estimated 17,000 persons in the late 1970s and early 1980s." Those numbers, which look like a conservative estimate, presumably include the regime's 1982 massacre in the city of Hama, which was how the elder Assad dispatched an uprising of the Muslim Brotherhood. Hillary Clinton, in her remarks Sunday, dismissed that mass murder with the comment, "There is a different leader in Syria now."
Yes, but since the younger Assad took over in 2000, the reign of terror, reinforced by the echoes of Hama, has carried on. The State Department report lists a slew of "suspicious" deaths, disappearances, and arrests in 2009 alone, for offenses such as "degrading speech" or "insulting the president and the judicial system." The Syrian government, with its long record of allegedly "disappearing" individuals, offered no legal redress and "did not investigate or punish any security force members for their role in disappearances."
There is a description of the methods of torture and abuse inflicted on the inmates of Syria's filthy and crowded prisons. Among these are: "electrical shocks; pulling out fingernails; burning genitalia; forcing objects into the rectum; beating, sometimes while the victim was suspended from the ceiling; other times on the soles of the feet." (I heard a first-person account of this technique some years ago from a survivor of Syria's prisons, who showed me the horrible scars.) In a 21st-century reprise of the medieval rack and wheel, other methods include "hyperextending the spine; bending the detainees into the frame of a wheel and whipping exposed body parts; . . . [and] using a backward-bending chair to asphyxiate the victim or fracture the victim's spine."
This report goes on to enumerate other forms of agony, insult, theft, and repression inflicted by the Assad regime on the 21 million people of Syria. Corruption is rampant. Assad's Baath Party keeps its monopoly on power by prohibiting criticism of the government and violating its own constitution in order to severely restrict such rights as freedom of assembly. A permit can be required for a gathering of more than three people. There is brutal censorship. Among the cases cited in this report is that of a blogger who was sentenced to three years in prison for "publishing information aimed at weakening national morale."

Getting an MFC library into a .NET Windows Forms application

This is in regards to the previous question about "mixing MFC doc/view modules with .NET Winforms components." I would like to know the reasons to your answer:
The general strategy is to not mix them. While I guess you could possibly hack and slash enough to get an MFC library to display inside a Windows Form, the effort would huge and a waste of time. My advice would be to rewrite from scratch if you're going the Windows Form route.
The basic ones at least, please. I have to wrap in .NET a huge MFC C++ library that could take months to re-write in C#. Thanks a lot.
You're right, I should expand on my answer. The original question was asked by someone who wanted to directly mix MFC doc/views with .NET and the way it was phrased, it sounded like a straight MFC doc/view application without any COM/OLE capabilities. In that case, you're not going to have much luck at all mixing everything together as you're missing the COM bridge between them.
If your MFC library does support an ActiveX interface, or you can wrap it on one (which may be a great deal of work on it's own), you stand a chance of getting that library into a .NET Windows Forms application. .NET does a pretty decent job of handling ActiveX/COM component interoperability, so you'd get to save your library and still use it.

It's that time again for the annual Funtime Fall Festival. Unfortunately the Wuzzles don't have enough money to buy the costumes they want. After failing to make some money for the costumes, they meet a new resident of Wuz, Tycoon. Did money ever grow on trees? Well, yes! Tycoon had a money tree and a spare seed that he offered to the Wuzzles for all their good stuff. Unfortunately when the seed was planted, every Wuzzle couldn't wait for their turn and started pruning money from the tree until it was bare. Crock manages to find out that Tycoon has a money tree and steals it. Soon after Tycoon offers to give back all the Wuzzles' stuff to help him get back his money tree. The attempt to get the money tree fails and the Wuzzles learn that they were being just as greedy as Crock and that snorses do not sit on whoopee cushions.

Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Attendance: None
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Jered Weaver twirled a three-hitter for his first major league complete game, as the Angels downed the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-1, to win for the fourth time in five contests.
Weaver (3-1), coming off a no-decision at Yankee Stadium when he permitted four runs over six innings, was spectacular in the conclusion of this two-game set. The right-hander had eight strikeouts without walking a batter and threw 73 of his 103 pitches for strikes. He moved to 4-1 lifetime against Toronto with all those wins coming in Anaheim.
"I was able to get strikes early," Weaver said. "I was locating my pitches and my slider was the best it's ever been. The boys put up some runs for me. It was an overall team effort."
Mike Napoli belted a two-run homer and Kendry Morales added a solo shot. Maicer Izturis had two hits and two RBI, while Chone Figgins went 3-for-4 with two runs scored.
Robert Ray (0-1) gave up 10 hits and six runs -- five earned -- over 6 1/3 innings to drop his first major league decision.
"Weaver pitched a good game against us," Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "He did a great job. Ray pitched okay, we just didn't give him support."
Aaron Hill homered leading off the fourth inning for Toronto, which had won five of its previous six games. The only other hits for the Blue Jays were a second-inning double from Vernon Wells and an Adam Lind single in the seventh.
Morales singled to start the second inning and Napoli followed with a homer to right field.
Figgins bunted for a hit to begin the Los Angeles third, stole second and went to third on a throwing error from catcher Rod Barajas. Izturis then lifted a sacrifice fly to center.
After Hill homered, Weaver set down the ensuing 11 batters until Lind singled. Scott Rolen flied out to end the top of the seventh.
Meanwhile, the Angels padded their lead in the sixth. Morales homered to right with two outs. Napoli then doubled and scored on Juan Rivera's base hit.
Izturis singled in Figgins in the seventh.
Weaver finished off his masterful performance by retiring Marco Scutaro and Hill on fly balls and then fanning Alex Rios to end the game.
"They are the hottest hitting team in baseball right now. For Jered to shut them down it was a terrific effort," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
